From JuanM - SCW Gun Team, Captain Grant and Italian MG Crewman (32 Points)

Hi!

I´m here, on Wednesday, with my second entry. The Challenge is becoming really hard really early, and there are fantastic entries here, so I´m looking around my painting cave to find interesting models. In the meantime, I have found ANOTHER period/project...

1.- This is an MMG team for the Spanish Civil War, part of an International Brigades force for "Chain of Command" I´m painting to a customer. This team needs another figure, but I'm painting some surplus riflemen, so no problem with the five model crews. The figures are from Musketeer Miniatures and Empress Miniatures, sculpted by Paul Hicks, my favourite sculptor.

2.- Captain Grant, a new figure I have painted from Pulp Figures. Again, a very solid and good figure with a lot of character.

Here he is with his "sons", a work party from his crew (all of them have been painted previously). He is going to sail with an US Scientific Expedition to the mysterious Japanese South Pacific Mandate; there is something wrong there...

3.- And finally, a busy Italian MG crew member for the British Somaliland campaign. This is a very nice figure from Empress Miniatures; fantastic and much, much, much better than the North Africa Italians from Perry Miniatures I have been painting for a time.

I´m now very busy painting figures for the next entry (next week; it has been a great idea this of the assigned day, Curt). I expect to test some very good AK Interactive paints with the volunteer that can be seen in the background...

Cheers!

From Curt:
Beautiful work Juan! I love the HMG team, particularly the black gunner - you've managed to achieve a wonderful skin tone for him. Captain Grant looks to be a solid chap and his crew a capable bunch so we wish them all the best on their upcoming South Pacific adventure. 

These six figures will give Juan a base of 30 points, but I'm adding a couple more for the HMG as I know how fiddly they can be to work with.  Well done!
